PSPVBA v1.0.6 Minor Update
A couple of days ago, Zx-81 said that the PSPVBA V1.0.5 may be the final version of the awesome Gameboy Advance emulator that will be compatible with 2.0-2.6 firmware (he’s going to downgrade to 1.5 and try to improve speed using kernel access). So, this quick update is quite a surprise. But then again, you know how it is in the homebrew scene, developers just can’t keep still knowing that there’s still some more work to do. So, Zx-81 is back with PSPVBA v1.0.6, and we’re not complaining! We love updates from the homebrew guru! The new version is not teeming with new features as it’s only considered a minor update, but still, it makes GBA emulation in our PSP even smoother.
Here’s what’s new in PSPVBA v1.0.6:
- New screen resize option (Ymin/Ymax) to reduce the size of the screen and then speed up the emulation. This works best in car games such as V-rally 3. It’s simple but it hopes to win up to 5% on CPU speed.
- Press Start+Select to return to the emulator menu (whatever the key mapping you have set). This feature overcomes the issue encountered in previous versions, wherein players couldn’t go back in the emulator menu because the assigned key isn’t responding.
- Added the save battery feature. This is already available in the original VBA source code, but it hasn’t been tested in the new version.
